THE RETALIATION BILL.
The Matter Discussed by the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. pa full attendance
this morning of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs indicated the interest taken
In the fishery question. The Senate bin re-
ferred to the committee yesterday, with the
unusual power to report at any time to the
House, was the subject of discussion. The
discussion showed substantial unanimity in
the determination to act without haste and
only after mature .deliberation The merits
of the Senate and House bills were compar-
ed. Mr., Belmont indicated preference for
the House bill, but thought there was no
reason for haste, and that that could be i'm
proved.
Mr.. Rice thought the Senate bill went
further than was generally supposed and
might include more than the Senate expected
and perhaps as much as the House bill. The
Senate bill excluded not only Canadian ''pro-
ducts" but ''gocds." Would not goods"
include any possession, even the ears and
locomotives?
Mr.. Phelps saw no need Of the exeitemen emf
which had swept the Senate. The commit
tee ought to take the wisdom of the Senate
as seen In It's measure, and the wisdom of
the House as seen in the House measure and
get out OF the two, and by the admixture of
new mat:er, II necessary, something to re-
port, which would be reasonable, peaceful
and efficient. The Senate seemed to want a
partial suspension, and the House, judging
by the bills, a total suspension of CONNER
cial intercourse. The wisdom of either
course, and the practical details for enforc-
Ing either plan. when adopted, needed care
ful study. He moved the matter be referred
to subcommittee to report next Tuesday.
MIR. Worthington said Chicago would never
20 SO far as to let Canadian cars be stopped,
though It might be willing to stop products
and goods that were Canadian. The mat
ter was referred TO a subcommittee, consist
ing OF Messrs. Belmont, Clements and Rice.
with Instructions to report not later than
next Tuesday.

THE SITUATION IN CANADA.
A Gloomy View Taken by a Leading
journal.

TORONTO, Jan. 27.-The Mail today says:
1T Is unfortunate for Canadian interests
that general election should be in progress
at time when our American naighb0rs are
legislating against u.s. IL Is true the belli-
eose speeches delivered in the United States
Senate need not be taken seriously. Never
theless, 1t is abundantly evident from the
better class Of American journals that our
neigh0rs are determined to adopt a spirited
foreign policy; in plain English, to steal
vent them. England Is the party with
which Americans have to deal. but the for
eign office in London Is largely influenced
by the colonial Office which in turn receives
its inspiration from Ottawa. 1t Is piece of
bad luck, therefore, that at such critical
juncture our ministers should be occupied In
election matters, and that in the maritime
provinces politicians on both sides should be
making speeches on the fishing question,
which may prejudice or embarrass the gov
ernment in the delicate negotiations now IN
progress. IL Is no use blinking at the fact
that Canada Is at a grave disadvantage in
this controversy. On the one hand Ameri-
leans Of the ingalls, and Riddleberger stamp
refuse us fair hearing simply because we
are British on the other hand, our govern
ment must abide by the terms which the
imperial authorities may be driven 10 accept
in their own interest, wholly irrespective Of
the merits Of the case. We suffer from
American prejudice against England, and
from England's unwillingness and inability
to make our case her own, and betwixt the
two II will be a miracle If we are not shOrn.
The foreign office will make show Of pro-
teeting our rights, but the capital considera-
tion with Lord Salisbury will not be the JUS
tice OF our cause, so much as the necessity
Tor maintaining cordial relations with the
United States. IL may be taken for granted,
then, that whatever form the settlement
with the United States may take we are sure
to get little the worst Of the bargain

A DELUcED CITY.
The Main Street of asMaryland City
Flooded with Water.

PoRT DEPOSIT, Nd, Jan. 27.-The ice in
the Susquehanna north of Port Deposit be-
gan breaking up at 2.3O O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, piling up opposite this place
which forced the water back upon the town
in frightful manner. In 80 minutes the
water had attained a depth Of five to six
feet in the main street, running with a swift
current, carrying with it ice, fences, lumber,
and debris generally. All the residences on
the lower side of Main street, with few ex-
ceptions, were flooded with three to five feet
of water on the first floors, and many resi-
dences on the upper side of Main street have
several inches of water. As far as can be
ascertained, not more than three or four
families residing on the lower side of Main
street remained in their residences last night
The remainder removed to the upper side
and into the country. At intervals during
the night the water rose and fell, varying
from three TO six feet. At all hours durin g
the night boats could be seen rowing up and
down Main street, moving residents as the
water invaded their houses. No possible
conception can be formed Of the loss and de-
struction of last nights flood. Much prop
erty was damaged, many houses being par
TALLY or entirely wrecked.
At O'Clock this morning the water began
to rise again and has continued gradually
until O'Clock, at which time the water has
attained an alarming height.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Closing Sessions of the conven-
ton at Augusta.
Labor Troubles to be Left with the
Executive Board.

AUGUSTA, Jan. 26.-The Knights of Labor
convention devoted large part of the fore
noon to a further consideration of the by
laws. A resolve addressed to the Maine del
egation to Congress called for law giving
workmen employed by sub-contractors on
public buildings, lien on the building for
wages.
The convention finally adjourned this af-
ternoon. The following executive board was
announced: A. A. Beaton of Rockland, p.
j. Carver of Auburn, D. NJ. Frye of Spring
vale, j. S. Douglass of Bar Harbor, NJ S.
Goodrich of Fairfield, James Deyine of No.

Stafford of Hallowell, ]. H. Stantial of Bath,
5. c. Woodside of Milltown, S. ID. Edwards
of Oxford. J. Ahearn of Portland, Thomas
Clark of Prospect, II. f. Rowell Of Bangor.
The board has entire control where labor
troubles occur. In case of any difficulty the
local member of the board is to thoroughly
investigate 1t and report to the chairman,
who shall place the matter before the sub
committee Of the board as in his opinion
best fitted to adjudicate it inte1ligently II
the case is very aggravated one, then 1t
will be presented to the entire board. The
drawback with the Knights has been that
the local assemblies get into hot water and
then call on the District Board to help them
out. The power of local organizations to act
has been curtailed, and that of the executive
board extended Strikes will not he counte-
nanced in any instance, but the boycott win
be employed only in extreme cases. The
larger portion of the afternoon was occupied
in calling the roll of assemblies. the dele
gates making such suggestions on matters of
general interest to the order as requested to
by their ''locals." The convention finally
adjourned to meet at Biddeford the last
Tuesday in July.
